The original plugs that I said were broken actually looked more like they were burnt into two pieces. The electrodes separated inside of insulators of plugs. When I pulled rubber boot from spark plugs part of the plugs came out with boot. The plugs that are in van now are in good shape. I am not having any problems with plugs or wires now. The problem that I seem to be having now is a wiring problem. The
technician says the non-start problem is because of anti-theft not alowing van to start. I think the anti-theft system in van is passive anti-theft. I am not sure what that means. Has anyone had a problem with anti-theft not allowing car to start under these or similar circumstances?
